Thundercats comics5/30/2023 Monkian talks about wanting to have “fun” with her, and Vultureman says he’ll protect her if she would help uncover the secret of Tygra’s whip, which Tygra insists can only be used by a Thundarian. What’s Cheetara doing? Is she being forced to use her great speed to act as a scout or messenger? Are they using her psychic powers to track down free Thundarians or attempt to spy back on Mumm-Ra since they don’t want to be here? Oh, no. Tygra is being force to work for Vultureman because of his architectural skills. We’ll get back to that when that’s revealed, I think next issue. Let’s see: Panthro was working in the mine, Snarf was going crazy, and (SPOILER) the added trio of Thundercats are dead. Mostly because he wants to see the surprise on Lion-O’s face when he sees what’s happened to Cheetara. Lion-O, Panthro, and Snarf make their way to the new Castle Plundarr, with a spell by Mumm-Ra blocking the Sword’s “sight beyond sight”. Oh, I wish I could but we aren’t done with suggested sex. No, no, now we’re suggesting she’s having SEX with Mumm-Ra! Is that even possibl…you know, I really don’t want to think about it or sex will be ruined faster than visiting an actual porn studio to see how fake it really is. In other words suggesting that Wilykit isn’t just Mumm-Ra’s attendant. Merriam-Webster defines concubine as “a woman with whom a man cohabits without being married: such as (a) : one having a recognized social status in a household below that of a wife, or ( b) mistress”. NOW she’s in a skimpyier (somehow) bikini washing Mumm-Ra, who calls her his concubine. This story takes place five years later so she’s about 17 now, not even legal in most US states. When you think about it, Wikykit was probably 13 at best when the cartoon and the last miniseries ended. It’s bad enough Ed Benes is drawing Wilykit so sexy and in a skimpy outfit…I mean there are only cloth straps around her breasts and barely long enough to be called a skirt around her waist. Right from the first page the assault on a childhood favorite begins. Waiting years for his moment, Hordak, through Skeletor, intended to abduct both Adam and Adora, but was only able to make off with Adora before being discovered by the Sorceress.This comic isn’t worthy of my usual “action figure” joke. Hordak swore revenge upon Grayskull, vowing to corrupt his bloodline. Back at the palace, King Randor reveals to his son Prince Adam why Adora was kidnaped: both she and Adam are descendants of King Grayskull, who banished Hordak thousands of years prior. Hordak invades Eternia and under Adora’s leadership, the Horde makes quick gains. As in previous iterations, Adora is one of Hordak’s top generals, and under the name Despera, strikes fear into the hearts of the people. In He-Man and the Masters of the Universe #5 (from Keith Giffen, Philip Tan, and Pop Mhan) She-Ra’s origin gets a much darker spin. She was given the Sword of Protection, which turned her into She-Ra. Thanks to He-Man, Adora would learn the truth of her heritage and renounce Hordak. The writers gave her an intriguing backstory: the twin sister of Prince Adam, the future He-Man, was abducted at a young age by Hordak and taken to his world of Etheria. She-Ra: Princess of Power debuted in 1985 and was an immediate success. Mattel, the toys’ manufacturer, decided to create a spin-off line, this one aimed at young girls. By the mid-1980s, the Masters of the Universe toy-line was a top-seller, spurred in part by a highly successful cartoon - no coincidence, as the cartoon was created precisely to help sell the toys.
